I used to love this, it had loads of zippy blackcurrant flavours, was very refreshing. Not seen it for a few years though.

Sweet cherry fruit aroma. Murky brown colour with poor head and lacing. Sweet fruit malt flavour. Flat palate.

Bottle: Poured brown color with a light cream brown head. Tangy hair popping blue berry aroma. Somewhat sour blueberry flavor and dry malt finish.

Lots of head...smells of cough syrup...big head, like champagne outta the bottle...A+ lacing...sweet refreshing, easy going, and DeliCouS! lower bitters, just OK....great but nothing overboard.

Dirty light brown with a reddish tinge. Expressive noise with very clean cassis and ribena fruits, lots of lift. Much fainter to taste and I would think a the fact the beer is 10 months beyong the BB date is a big contributor. Notwithstanding this is a pleasant drink and a very complete beer for a fruit style. More ribena notes but faint and plenty of fizz. Going ok given the age. A: 3 N: 7 F: 4 P: 3 Overall: 11

Cloudy red brown with a purple tinge and a frothy lasting head. Smells like ribena, but that’s probably to be expected. Quite sugary and lolly-like, with fairly aggressive acidity (probably from the added ascorbic acid!). Easy drinking though, with a full body. The aroma is quite perfume-like, and seems quite volatile in the mouth. It warms the gut, but that’s probably more the acid than the alcohol.

Je ne peux pas dire que c’est un bon goût de cassis, car ce n’est pas l’un des fruits que j’aime. À par de celà, elle est O.K.
